A man has filed a $2.5 million negligence lawsuit against a New York hospital after he said his HIV diagnosis was faxed to his workplace, allegedly revealing his condition to his co-workers.

The man is known as “John Doe” in court documents and wishes to remain unnamed because he was so traumatized by the disclosure, according to the New York Daily News.
